Cannot wait to return!

I cannot speak highly enough about our stay, our hosts, and their beautiful cottage! We were welcomes to a SPOTLESS, well-appointed and truly very comfortable place, with absolutely everything that one could need, including maps and personal advice from Steve. He and Dawn really have a gem here - it is very well-located, just a few blocks from downtown, with restaurants, cinema and easy access to the 101. (I am a runner, and it was wonderful to be able to trot through the empty downtown corridor at 6am - perfection!)Thank you so much to our wonderful hosts for being so accommodating, welcoming and generous. My Mom, daughter and I have a wonderful stay, and will certainly return to Olive with a Twist. - Karen P., Corner Brook, NL

Immaculate, comfortable house

We were very pleased with our accommodation. There were two of us. Our son lives a couple of blocks away, so it was very convenient. The house is well furnished and beds very comfortable. Be sure to bring your own staples, I.e., sugar. We brought groceries for breakfast and lunch, enjoying dinner out. The host had a bottle of white wine waiting which II enjoyed. We would like to return. - Anonymous, Camarillo, CA

Paso Robles Perfection

This is a charming house perfectly located on a quiet street close to the restaurants and shops in downtown Paso Robles. The house is impeccably maintained, well appointed with comfortable beds and modern appliances, and extremely clean. Even the towels were soft and comfy! I could not have hoped for a better stay. Lovely in every way. - Elizabeth S., Glenn Dale, MD

First Time in Paso Robles

Perfect location to explore the beautiful wine country of Paso Robles. Olive with a Twist is perfect for people who want to dine in after a full day of wine tasting, with a nice home cooked meal and a fabulous local wine. The kitchen is nicely outfitted (a paring knife would be a great addition)for dinner prep.The private, cozy back deck is a great place to dine or to unwind with a glass your newly found treasure.For those not wishing to cook at home, the area has an abundance of fine eateries, within an easy stroll.

Steve is a knowledgeable and gracious host who can guide you in the right direction on pretty much everything in PR.All in all, a delightful week. - Ross C., Destin, Fl

Wonderful home near downtown Paso Robles

Our stay at 'Olive with a Twist' could not have been better! The location is just a couple blocks from downtown where there are lots of tasting rooms, restaurants and shopping. A couple of days we never even used our car because the location was so convenient. The house was very clean and tastefully decorated. It's always a bonus too when we can bring our dog with us! Steve, the owner, has so much knowledge about the area, so if you need recommendations from dining to wineries, ask and he'll be able to hep you out. Absolutely loved everything about this place, we hope to be back soon! - Angela G., San Jose, CA

Sweet cottage

Olive with a Twist and more...

Great location only 3 blocks to the square.The host met us and provided local vineyard tasting maps, restaurant recommendations and even a bottle of wine. The property was immaculate, well-decorated and immaculately clean. Would recommend staing here again. - Anonymous, San Rafael, CA

Thanksgiving in Wine Country

What a great location and the property was beautiful and immaculate. Our host, Steve, was gracious and welcomed us. He provided many wonderful suggestions for food and wineries to visit. Best of all, we were able to bring our fur baby. - Heather G., San Clemente, CA

Delightful Paso Robles Home

This well kept well maintained home is just blocks from great Paso restaurants and the park. Our stay was chilly by Paso standards for the month, but this home was a wonderful retreat from the chill. Would have liked to use the grill and picnic area - maybe next time. Highly recommend this place for couples and small families. Management was very easy to work with, and always available by cell phone. - Terry B., Kenilworth, IL

Weekend in Paso

The cottage was exactly how it was described and was perfect for the weekend. It was clean and located a mere 2 1/2 blocks from the park area. The owner was so helpful with selecting wineries to visit as well as restaurants. I would highly recommend this rental. - Anonymous, Escondido, CA

A Wonderful Weekend

We were welcomed with open arms from Steve. Not only did he greet us with a bottle of wine but he gave us many winery, restaurant and coffee recommendations. The cottage is extremely clean. The neighborhood is incredibly quiet.The kitchen facilities were adequate so that we could make breakfast, have snacks and prepare dinner. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again if we had the opportunity to do so. We appreciated Steve's communication and recommend that you would enjoy staying at "Olive with a Twist". - Evelyn G., Santa Barbara, California

Our Stay at Olive with a Twist

Our stay at Olive with a Twist is the third time we have stayed in a vacation rental in Paso and our 3rd different property. It is ideal for a short walk to restaurants on the square and parking out front was very convenient. No train noise was a big plus for Olive with a TwistThe property has two spacious bedrooms and is very spacious overall. The decor is a little 'old' style but clean and comfortable. There's a nice back yard space (although we had to wipe it down)with a BBQ that we didn't use. It also has laundry which was perfect as i had been travelling for a few weeks and needed a freshen up.My wife and i really enjoyed the stay at Olive with a Twist and would definitely stay again next time we are in Paso. - Lee B., Ottawa, Canada

Excellent In-town retreat

We stayed for a week in June, and found the cottage-style house to be perfect for a week of fine wine touring and great dining. It's ideally located 4-5 blocks from the center of town, yet in a super-quiet and safe neighborhood. Great facilities, upscale feeling to a nicely renovated cottage, and very clean and well equipped. - Perry E., Denver, CO

Our Favorite

Paso Robles Gem!

Olive with a Twist was the perfect place to stay for our weekend wine tasting vacation in the Paso area. The pictures don't do the place justice. Steve met us upon arriving and velt immediately welcomed. Everything was clean and the decor was tastefully done. Steve made sure we had everything we needed and gave us some great suggestions for things to do during our stay. My husband and I along with our friends who slept in the second bedroom commented on how comfortable the beds were. The location is perfect for walking to dinner downtown, which we did both nights. There are plenty of tasting rooms withing walking distance also. The neighborhood is quite and safe. We look forward to planning our next visit and hopefully we can stay longer than a weekend. - Terri T., Roseville, California

Wonderful Stay! Great Location!

My girlfriends and I definitely enjoyed our weekend stay at Olive with a Twist. Great location, walking distance to Downtown with lots of restaurants and tasting rooms. The house is charming, well maintained, clean, and the decor is pleasing to the eyes. - Christine L., San Jose, CA

Olive with a Twist | Redux

Paso Robles Weekend

We stayed at Olive with a Twist when we attended a friend's wedding. Had time to visit downtown and the surrounding coastal areas.House was exactly as described in its listing. Very pleasant - 4 blocks from downtown on a quiet street. Nice kitchen and great king beds (though a bit large for the bedrooms). Very clean, helpful hosts. Modestly furnished but fine. - Anonymous, Madison, WI

Olive with a twist

This was a perfect little cottage with all the amenities that you would need. It was perfect for two couples..a nice respite after a day wine tasting in the beautiful Paso Robles countryside. You can walk into town for dinner at the many nice restaurants. Steve made some nice suggestions for dinner and some great wineries. We especially liked the Odyssey restaurant for dinner. About an hour to the coast to visit the Hearst Castle and elephant seal refuge. We had a wonderful four night stay and would certainly return! - Sue D., Placentia, Ca

Cute House......Perfect Location!

Wonderful experience in the cutest house in the perfect location downtown. House was updated, clean, large king-size beds and had everything we needed. I would recommend this house to anyone and will be back. - April B., Corona, CA

Olive with a Twist

If you want to experience Paso Robles, walking is best! This little cottage is in the heart of the city and convenient to everything. The owner is friendly and attentive. We travel a lot with our two little dogs and they truly enjoyed the freedom of the fenced yard. In all of our travels this cottage is the cleanest and most cared for of all the places we've enjoyed. Thanks again, Dione and Steve - Anonymous, Fallbrook, CA

Olive With a Twist in Paso Robles

The online property description is very accurate. Olive With a Twist has been renovated with contemporary amenities (granite countertops, stainless appliances, marble shower stall, etc.), and is clean and neat. It is located one block west of Vine but is quieter than it, and is about five blocks from the town square. Even the next door neighbor, Grant, is very nice! The only downside is having just one full bathroom. Paso Robles Vacation Rentals' service was excellent, and the property owner personally introduced us to the house. - Wayne G., Fairfax, VA

Weekend Wine Tasting

Olive with a twist is a great 2 bedroom house. It was nicely appointed and very clean. The location was perfect for walking to the downtown area. Steve, the owner, greeted us with a warm smile and a bottle of wine. He spent about 20 min or so walking us through some of the best places to wine taste and to dine. One of our favorite places to eat that Steve recommended was Odyssey World Cafe which was with in walking distance. We would recommend this place and we plan on going back. - Anonymous, Anaheim Hills, CA

Perfect location

Comfortable, Beautiful and Perfect for our trip!

Olive with a Twist was a perfect home away from home. Great location to walk to and from downtown. Easy driving which we did little of. The Wine Line picked us up to go to the wineries. Full kitchen , gas grill and nice deck to have a couple of dinners in. We would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended by us! Thanks for everything! - Kim I., Cincinnati, Ohio

Great Combination - House; Location; Host

Terrific house in a great location; easy walking distance to downtown. The website photos accurately reflect the level of fit and finish of this very comfortable house. Owner Steve was very knowledgable of all things Paso and made great recommendations for vineyards and restaurants as part of his welcome/check-in. That said, you never have to leave the property - it is completely updated and well equipped inside and out, including a very nice back deck with a Weber gas grill. - Mark C., Middletown, CT

wonderful Paso Robles home

What a great house, location and Steve's personal greeting with his recommendations for restaurants, vineyards and tourist haunts were invaluable. The workmanship on this bungalow continued to amaze us. You'll be very happy here - Cindy H., Tucson, AZ

Olive with a twist

The house was immaculate and the location was perfect. When we visit Paso again we will definitely try to to stay here again or rent one of the other properties owned by Steve and Dawn. - William F., Amherst, OH

Perfect in Paso

We loved the close proximity to downtown and easy walkability. Also being centrally located it was easy to visit wineries in all directions. The house was clean and comfortable, and not too much stuff to worry about with our baby who had just learned to crawl. All of us had a wonderful visit, and I would definitely recommend this house to others visiting the area. - Heather L., Mountain View, CA

A Great Place

We loved our 4-night stay at Olive with a Twist. The home was nicely renovated and is beautifully maintained and impeccably clean. Bed very very comfy. With only one full bath and an additional vanity/sink, could be close quarters for two couples, but it was perfect for the two of us. Convenient location, a short walk to downtown restaurants and shopping, and a pleasant drive to top-notch wineries. Very quiet neighborhood. Couldn't be happier with our experience there! - Gwenn M., Borrego Springs, CA

Olive with a Twist

Wow, the photos did not do this cute house justice. We were so happy to see a rental this clean and modern. It was perfect walking location to town. The owner was friendly, helpful and very professional. It was just perfect for mom's celebrating their 40. - Anonymous, San Jose, CA

Loved it

My wife and I stayed a month and found it to be a fantastic location (5 minute walk to everything downtown) and a beautiful place to stay. The weather helped as well, since for February a few 75 degree days was a luxury! - Anonymous, Whitebear Lake, MN

wedding at the Castoral Vineyard

We didn't get to spend much time in the house because we were busy enjoying family and helping to facilitate the wedding. But my sister and I couldn't have asked for nicer accommodations. Good beds, nice shower, comfortable sofa, etc. The backyard was typical Pasa Robles and I enjoyed drinking coffee outside before we started our busy day. I really liked the simplicity of the cottage, no busy frilly decoration to collect dust - just an upscale look and feel. Overall a great place to start and finish a super day in the Pasa Robles area. - Anonymous, Port Clinton, OH

Paso Wedding Getaway

We are frequent visitors of Paso and on this stay we were there for a wedding. We have never stayed in a private home before. It was clean and well stocked. The beds were super comfy. We loved being close to town. The owners daughter, Valerie, met us and she was very helpful. The owner, Steve, was out of town but offered us several dining recommendations. We would definitely stay again! - Laurie M., Mission Viejo, CA

Wonderful Girls Weekend!

We had a little ladies' weekend at Olive with a Twist and it was simply delightful! The kitchen was equipped with literally everything we needed, the manager was accommodating and wonderful! - Anonymous, Culver City, CA

Birthday Get-Away

My husband and I spent my birthday weekend here and it was just spectacular! It is so close to everything within walking distance. Very, clean, comfortable and fully equipped. Steve and Dawn were pleasant and gave us late checkout so we didn't have to rush out. We can't wait to return!!! - Kristyn R., Prather, CA

Quaint Stay in Downtown Paso

Lovely, clean, well-appointed two bedroom house. Only downside is 1 bathroom but we knew that going in. Oh, and coffee provided would have been a nice addition as most rentals provide ground coffee. Otherwise, very very nice. - Annette F., Orange, CA

Peaceful, convenient and charming

The house was very comfortable and so convenient for walking downtown for dinner. The patio and deck always had some shade - perfect for meals or relaxing with a book. The bike/walking trail at 13th Street was just 4 or 5 blocks East, and made it an ideal location to get some exercise.

We spent 4 days at Olive with a Twist, and will definitely return. - Vivienne N., Santa Clara, CA

Perfect spot!

We had a blast. Plain and simple. The house was comfortable, the kitchen made was well supplied, which made brunch on Saturday a breeze, and the location is unbeatable. Five stars, would stay again. - Anonymous, Austin, TX

Paso Robles Wine Country Half

Stayed at this wonderful cottage for a girl's trip to run the Wine Country Half Marathon. The location of the cottage was great. We were close to tons of restaurants and shops and were able to walk everywhere. The amenities the cottage offered were equally amazing and we had everything we wanted or needed for our stay. The decor was very nice and we had a great time hanging out on the back patio with glass (or two) of wine. The owners were easily accessible and provide some good local info to guide our trip. Will definitely stay here again if we are in Paso. - Anonymous, Murphy, Texas

Sweet Escape

We found Olive with a Twist to be a perfect setting/location for our winter escape from Boise. This was our 1st, not our last, trip to this part of CA.Olive was a perfect fit for the two of us. It allowed us both to have seperate rooms. We found the beds to be extremely comfortable and the linens were plush. Kitchen was nicely equipped and would have allowed for more extensive meal prep if we hadn't been within a safe 4-5 block walk of so many restaurants. Steve, one of the owners,met us upon our arrival and gave us an intro/history to this fully renovated cottage built in 1902. The bottle of Viognier was a nice touch and a great intro to Paso's extensive wine culture. - Shelley B., Boise, ID

Walk to Town!

Fantastic stay at this quiet, pristine, comfortable cottage. We were most interested in being able to walk to town to enjoy the restaurants and nightlife and the home was definitely walkable at about 4 short blocks. The owner met us on site and guided us through the home details, the neighborhood, suggestions, and even provided a free bottle of wine. I would stay here again. - Katrina D., Encinitas, CA

Great Stay in Olive with a Twist!

We thoroughly enjoyed the house on Olive Street in Paso Robles. Having a house, instead of a hotel room was ideal-- gave us room to spread out, and a wonderful place to return to after touring & wine tasting to relax before heading out to our next activity. The house was new, spot less, and very charming. We would definitely stay there again, and recommend it. Living in a small town, we really appreciate the ambiance of being able to walk to shops & restaurants in a safe & attractive downtown area. Just a couple of things we noticed that the house could use: a wine chiller to ice down a bottle of wine, an alarm clock, and coasters glasses to protect the nice side tables. Overall, a wonderful place in a lovely town! - Anonymous, Staunton, VA

Perfect location and pristine house

The house is in the perfect location within a few blocks of downtown. The layout was perfect for the 3 of us and would easily accomodate 2 couples. The decor is tasteful and well thought out. It was a pleasure to stay here. I would recommend to anyone planning a trip to Paso Robles! - Deborah B., Laguna Beach, Ca

Love Olive with a Twist!

We could not have been happier with our stay at Olive with a Twist! What an amazing location and a beautiful cottage! We rented it for the week of our wedding and we were so happy to have our own little home to come back to! Perfect downtown location, we brought our bikes and took rides all around the area, beautiful sights to see and gorgeous vintage homes everywhere! We will certainly be back! Thank you! - Tiffany F., Ventura, California

Wedding night Bliss

My wife and I stayed at Olive with a Twist on our wedding night and it could not have been better. Steve and his wife are fantastic, super helpful and generally good people. I would defiantly stay there again. - Brad B., ,

The "Twist" is a great find in Paso

Our stay at Olive with a Twist was really great. The proximity to the Square was wonderful after long days at the wineries. The fact that the internet actually worked when so many cottages I have rented fail in that respect was also great. The house is fully equipped with everything you need for a week end cottage rental. All in all, a great spot to consider. - Henry D., Charlottesville, VA

Olive with a Twist

Our stay could not have been any better. This beautiful home was clean, conveniently located, built with care and attention to detail. I would absolutely recommend a stay at Olive with a Twist. Steve was a pleasure to deal with and had great tips for many of the things that Paso has to offer. - Justin G., Huntington Beach, CA

Everything we hoped for and more!

Staying at 'Olive with a Twist' was such a wonderful experience...and we have rented several properties in Paso Robles! It was superbly located, pristine and uncluttered, cozy and user-friendly! We have already recommended it to our family and friends! We will absolutely return! Thank you so much for your hospitality! - Matt and Erica W., Santa Monica, CA

Olive with a Twist review

We had a great time in Paso Robles and enjoyed our stay in Olive with a Twist. The home is very clean and organized, and the location is within an easy walk to the square with all of the nearby restaurants and shops. We visited with our 2-year-old son and appreciated that the house wasn't overrun with knick-knacks and other stuff for him to get into. The enclosed backyard was also a plus, although that area wasn't particularly pretty, just gravel surrounding the back porch/patio. The owners were helpful and easy to work with. We'd definitely stay at the house again and recommend it to others. - Jean L., Palo Alto, CA

Great little bungalo in a perfect location

We had a great time at Olive with a Twist. The location was ideal for walking to downtown PR. The place was spotless, tastefully decorated, and really had everything we needed. We would stay again! - Jennifer M., Thousand Oaks, Ca

Thanksgiving '11 at Olive with a Twist!

Our stay at Olive with a Twist could not have been more perfect. Steve warmly greeted us at the property promptly upon our arrival and gave us tips on local spots and things to do in town. The cottage was very cozy and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the necessary cookware to facilitate our Thanksgiving dinner. We slept very well as the beds were extremely comfortable! The cottage is located on a very quaint and quiet street only a few blocks to the main downtown area with shops, restaurants and wine tasting rooms. We highly recommend this rental and look forward to returning! - India C., Los Angeles, CA

Modern, clean, and all the amenities! Great location!

This rental was a perfect location! It was an easy walk to downtown and short drive to any of the vineyards. We were very pleased with this house. It was perfect for 2 couples and even cheaper than a hotel stay. Steve was great and always available for us. The house had everything we needed. We will definitely come back! - Christine L., Gilbert, AZ
